The Action Democratic Party (ADP) Governorship up-and-comer in the 2019 Lagos State Gubernatorial Election, Mr Babatunde Gbadamosi, has asked Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu to “wake up” to the difficulties of conveying profits of popular government to Lagosians following 200 days in office.
Talking during a media conference with editors in Lagos, the ADP applicant scored Sanwo-Olu low over all divisions of administration.
“Sanwo-Olu needs to find his spine, he needs to find his backbone, he needs to find his will and execute what he said he will execute if elected the governor of Lagos state when we had that famous pre-election debate.
“The governor needs to wake up and sort out the lowest of the low hanging fruits,” Gbadamosi told the editors in Lagos.
“The Lagos -Badagry Expressway is a shame to 20 years of civilian governance in Lagos State despite the support received from the Federal Government and partners to redevelop the road.
“It is a shame to all of us Lagosians that we allow that road to get to such a deplorable state,
“It is not just about criticising and pointing out the flaws, it is about pointing out how well to achieve what we all want, which is good governance.
“So, we have to do whatever we can do to help the incumbent government to achieve good governance,
“And the reason they are not built up is because there is no road. For instance, the Lekki -Ajah axis is still largely undeveloped. There’s no road; no coastal road.
“Imagine if we put a 10-lane expressway along the coastline, the area will develop; and if you build solid infrastructure in Lagos, you make money,
“The partnership I am talking about is one where we come together to build a society for which all of us can benefit without necessarily dipping our hands into the state coffers.
“Lagos is my focus, if we can fix Lagos, the rest of the country will be playing catch up,” Gbadamosi said.
